So, my meeting yesterday was a bit of an anticlimax - the funders haven't made a decision yet but I need to do a few things over the next couple of months to sweeten them up. All (including my job) is not lost.

Also, this is not a game a game of when the fuck did you keep your blonde blonde

Silly hayfever triggered my silly asthma so I've been awake since 5:45. Considering bringing up the topic of shorts in the office. There's only 6 of us in the office, so feels like the sort of environment where that would fly. I bet our colleagues over in San Francisco are rocking shorts with their casual Californian lifestyles.

Going to power through work and then sit on my arse tonight reading and listening to LPs. Got through a bit of my backlog last night (Eleanor Friedberger, No Monster Club, Brian Jonestown Massacre) and I'll be doing the same tonight.

even if it makes sense, because at the end of the day, at least to me, religion doesn't make a whole lot of sense most of the time. I think she comes from a pretty devout family who would be more strict in their approach to it - basically unless their health is compromised.

I wasn't actually saying you should forward that to your colleague, just a comment that I'd hope many listen to that cleric and consider with the timing this year.

But I think there's a wide gulf between religion not always making perfect sense and clinging to an idea without applying some thought, which is how that comment reads. Essentially this is the path to fundamentalism which is different to religion having (like all social constructs) some points that might be impractical to apply in all situations.

If you're looking to accentuate highlights as well, there are leave in things that especially now it's summer, will catch the sun and lighten your hair. Remember to condition well though, otherwise your ends will become dry and split. hth.

and no-one has said a word to me or looked me in the eye since I've got in. I think my tenure here is over. Probably gonna stop existing as an institution in the next 5 years at this rate anyway. Fuck 'em.

but all the international (which funding I fall under) students staff are at risk due to a load of reasons I wanred them about a year ago, and they chose to bury their head in the sand. I do like supping from the cup of misery so this would be great.

Or sun lotion. 'Sun tan lotion' makes it sound like something you use in order to get a tan and is a bit of an 80s term from when you had factor 8 or something, so I suppose it really was about just taking the edge off so you didn't end up bright red.

looked out the window and there wasnt a bonfire in any garden or anything
got really freaked out that maybe the flat downstairs was on fire and were asleep and were going to die and that then our flat would burn up too and we dont have insurance and i decided i'd save my laptop and my mustang and what if people stole them off me as my flat burnt down and i was really tired and getting back to sleep but what if i never woke up. had to walk around trying to sense changes in temperature and listening for the crackling of flames, but i went for a piss and flushed the toilet and the noise of the water was confusing me

on reflection, was probably just someone downstairs having a cigarette under our bedroom window, but maybe not and it was still weird

Could smell what smelt like bonfire smoke but couldn't see anything. The window below mine was open so I guess someone was just having a smoke.
It happened last week too and I went round checking appliances making sure nothing was over heating.

on the way home last night, although weirdly after chasing her for a bit one of the ducks would occasionally nip her in the back of the neck. Not sure if it was to stop her running away or he's just a jerk.

It's hot but the office is holding up well so far. Quite interested in whether it's actually going to hit 33 tomorrow.

but gotta keep my head up. got a job interview for one that I really want tomorrow over the phone so i am spending a lot of time reading up ont he technology and the company (christ, it's really complicated) to make a good impression. my recruiter seemed super confident on the phone, but that's their job right?).

anyway, it means that my time on DiS is coming to an end. About time, really.

It's a bit toasty. FFS were fan-fucking-tastic, spent my time next to a middle aged bloke who was going pretty hard at a Seasons (Waiting On You) style dance throughout. Ron did a dance. I was pretty happy. I think Ron was too.
Came home to find that my cherry liqueur stuff is now half empty because my idiot housemate's been at it. Bit peeved.
Off to see that Scientology documentary tonight on a maybedate. I say maybedate, it's with someone I fancy and not sure if the feeling's mutual but we're going on our own, and probably off for some dinner afterwards. They've also given off some signals as well but who knows.
